I'm trying to maximize throughput between my Samba server and my Win2k (SP3 and 4) clients. Samba's configured to allow up to 64k packets and the server is on a GigE network (3com card, acenic driver) with SCSI UW2 drives (software RAID1 and RAID5 volumes). All clients are 100MB/sec FDX on a switched LAN. I can get sustained 35MB/sec transfers (read and write) on the disk subsystem so I know that's not a limiting factor. (not bad for software RAID, SCSI UW2 max theoretical throughput is 40MB/sec!)...

I've been doing some testing between Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) and Windows 2000 Server (no SP and SP4) -- specifcally testing file transfers from a Samba 2.2.8a server. Samba server: P4/2.2GHz, ServerWorks chipset, SCSI UW2 disk subsystem (Bonnie++ tested to 35MB/sec), 3Com (acenic) gigabit ethernet Win2kPro: P3/700, 3Com Vortex 100mbit network card Win2kServer: P3/800, 3Com Vortex 100mbit network card Switch: Baystack 350-24T with fiber gigabit module No registry hacking done to either client (and in previous te...

I've got a Dual Xeon system Digium Quad T1 and an Idle T1 circuit that I can experiment with. I've been wanting to use Redhat with software Raid 1 on an Asterisk server. Has anyone had any experience with software raid and Asterisk? Also, if the software raid doesn't play, any recommendations for a hardware based IDE Raid controller and suggestions on best practices for setting up
